About Me

Hafiz Shafruddin

App Dev . Web Designer . IT Support Specialist

Hello! I’m Hafiz, a Malaysian in Australia. I completed my first degree in Bachelor
of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) before pursuing my passion in Computer
Science. I’m currently a student at School of Computer Science (CSE), UNSW
Australia. Using ‘medical approach’ in diagnosing a tech problem gives a
greater accuracy and more effective solution. I am open to exploring the integration of
technology in the medical field.

I am a huge proponent of GNU philosophy (though not to the extent of RMS) and a strong
believer in freedom of choice. In my spare time, I coded mobile applications. My first app
GMCalculator, a chess rating calculator was launched on Android platform and it is a proud
outcome from my self-learning app building. I am proficient in Java and comfortable with
many of UI and UX libraries. I have expertise in designing websites from basic personal
websites to building an e-commerce website. Rapid design is made using Bootstrap and I am
capable of building web application with python using Django framework.

I'm also an avid fan of astronomy, and I’m on a constant quest to understand
the world of ‘others’. I am also an FIDE rated chess player
with experience as Malaysian Chess Player competing for chess olympiad and national
tournaments.
